Much of a huge cache of maple syrup snatched from a Quebec storage facility has been recovered, police say.

Three people have been arrested and five others are being sought in connection with the theft from a warehouse in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, Quebec Provincial Police said in a statement Tuesday. The theft occurred between August 2011 and July 2012, police said.

These gentlemen have certainly got themselves into a very sticky situation, here. There is no time for waffling about when you commit a crime like this. Even stupid cons know if you move like molasses you can't expect to get away.

Thank heavens for a sense of humor; that was poetic!; nothing like putting a funny spin on a non-harmful situation...eeks.... sorry, except for the business owners and/or their insurance companies..... Happy holidays all!!!

Thanks for the post Verity.The histogram cofnirms just how exceptional the month of Dec was.At the depth of the cold I travelled between Crumlin and Antrim a journey of about 8 Miles and was astonished to observe double-digit subzero temps the whole way in the afternoon! (OK my car's thermometer isn't calibrated, but I would think it should be within +/- 1 C)No one here remembers such unrelenting cold fortunately no water pipes froze and so far the water supply has not been interrupted.
